Sometimes when I happen upon an unlucky person who, for whatever reason was unable to make their escape when I walked up, I find it interesting to figure out if they are truly responding to me or at me. I will point out that I do feel for them. I mean really when we walk out into the world we expect to meet nice, normal people who are equipped with the very latest in verbal filters and the other social inhibitors that prevent them from from even giving a single thought about what you are saying to them while preparing their standard response. Well I simply don't have any. These things are learned over years of interaction with others and just like the math skills that I had before they were, evidently lost in the accident. I go wandering around and answering every query as honestly and thoroughly as I am able. Plus I tend answer questions completely, ie when asked for my medical history I started from birth telling each and every time I remembered going to the doctors. Most normal folks are simply not equipped to handle that. Where as I walk away if in that situation they stand there and suffer through the entire process. One person did reach up and pinch my lips shut and said please stop.
